Volkswagen was founded in 1937 by the German Auto Association. However, the idea for an affordable German vehicle came around years before. In 1930 Ferdinand Porsche, also founder of the Porsche vehicles, designed a 2-door sedan similar to the VW beetle. In 1933 Porsche was contacted by Adolf Hitler to discuss Hitler's idea of a Volkswagen, a 'people's car.' In 1938 the Kdf-Wagen was produced as the precursor to the Beetle we know today. The Volkswagen automobile was used as a political tool for Hitler's party, stating Kdf stood for 'Kraft durch Freude' Strength through joy.' During the war, Volkswagen was used to make military vehicles including the Kübelwagens, Germany's version of the jeep. The Kdf Wagen factory was a target for the allies, and was promptly bombed and partially destroyed. After the war, the British took over the factory, renamed the company Volkswagen and began importing vehicles back home. The British tried to give up the company, but Ford Motor Co. declined saying it would be 'a waste' and with no one else wanting Volkswagen, the British relinquished control to Germany in 1949. During the 50's Volkswagen cars, affectionately called beetles were being exported across the globe. VW's popularity has only increased during the last five decades, producing more vehicles and becoming one of the top five automakers in the world.
